[Hembree]

Hello,

Hope you had a nice day. My father have lost his contacts from iPhone 4s, does it possible to recover them? How to do it?

If he signed into an ICloud account with it, go to http://www.iCloud.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

If you backed it up to his iTunes on a computer, then try to restore it.

If neither, no es bueno.

I only helped somebody migrate, Iphone 5 to 6

iCloud worked like a charm

If no iCloud backup, then tough luck, yah !!

Hello,

If he did not have iCloud, i think it is very difficile. But don't worry. Your father can try to use a software to help recover deleted data. And the software is more convenient to use to use for him.

To recover contacts from iPhone:

+++If you have an iTunes backup

then follow these tips

Follow this path -
Summary > Backups > Backup Now
Once the backup is created, follow this path -

Alternatively, you could right-click on the phone icon in iTunes, and select Restore Backup ...
